ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology
Enabler for smaller, more powerful, and more energy-efficient microchips
Working for tomorrow today.
Around 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are produced using ZEISS technologies. As the centerpiece of every electronically controlled system, they have become an integral part of our everyday lives - whether in smartphones, smart homes or smart factories. ZEISS is a technology leader in the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and process control solutions, ZEISS enables the production of ever smaller, increasingly powerful, and more energy-efficient microchips, and thus plays a pivotal role in the age of micro- and nanoelectronics.
Your Role
As a Development Engineer - Dynamics and Control Engineering (m/f/x), with a focus on dynamics and control engineering, you will play a key role in the development, integration, and validation of complex mechatronic systems in the field of semiconductor mask inspection. You will combine a deep understanding of system dynamics with hands-on experience in commissioning and validating innovative damping and control concepts. Your responsibilities will include:
- Develop and design control and damping concepts for highly dynamic mechatronic systems
- Analyze, model, and optimize the dynamic behavior of complex machine and system architectures
- Plan, conduct, and evaluate experimental validation activities, particularly in the areas of: Modal analysis, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), Dynamic System identification and Vibration and stability analysis
- Commission, integrate, and test active and passive damping systems
- Develop integration concepts, test strategies, and technical work instructions
- Work closely with experts from mechanical engineering, software development, electronics, and systems engineering
- Contribute to the technical design of the overall system architecture
- Identify and implement optimization opportunities throughout the product development process
- Support the continuous improvement of modern methods and processes in the field of Product Development & Integration
Your Profile
- Successfully completed university degree (Master’s or PhD) in one of the following fields: Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Control Engineering, Cybernetics, Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering/Vehicle Dynamics, or a comparable discipline
- Several years of professional experience in the development of highly dynamic and mechatronic systems
- Strong knowledge of control engineering and system dynamics
- Experience in the experimental validation of dynamic systems, particularly modal analysis and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) methods
- Practical experience in the commissioning, integration, and testing of dynamic systems
- Knowledge and experience in developing and applying damping and vibration reduction concepts
- Experience in preparing technical work instructions and integration concepts
- Understanding of complex system architectures and interdisciplinary development processes
- Structured, analytical, and solution-oriented approach to work
- Very good command of German and English, both written and spoken
